Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...

Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have developed a new method for effectively modeling seed particles composed of 100–200 atoms using a supercomputer. They found that the temperature and ...

These shapes were produced with Handy-Potter, a new design tool developed at the C Design Lab in Purdue's School of Mechanical Engineering, that enables people to create and modify three-dimensional ...

Simulated predicted shape distribution for magic-sized silver clusters (purple insets) assembled at different solvent temperatures. These predictions can guide experiments to target seeds for crystal ...

Direct modelers provide a hands-on way to create and edit solid models. An emerging technology called “direct modeling” provides a new way to interact with solid models. As the approach becomes ...
